At the risk of answering my own question experiments on the console (rather than using a front-end) revealed the helpful message: """ gpg: requesting key ?v3 fpr? from hkp server localhost gpgkeys: HKP keyservers do not support v3 fingerprints gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. gpg: Total number processed: 0 gpg: keyserver internal error """ Thanks Werner for making your error messages so clear. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
